Ive got the hug bad today.
Got to work anf 1pm and it kicked in about 40 mins ago. I keep having to leave my desk or lean right over it with my face nearly touching my monitor!!!
Any tips on how to ease it while at work would be greatly appreciated.

Well I would say go home and lie down… but I realise that’s not always possible.
2 Paracetamol help… or drinking a Lemsip. I know it’s still only paracetamol but somehow the added comfort of hot lemon drink helps.
If at all possible go staight to bed when you get home.
Hope it goes… it is awful isn’t it. SO painful.

Hi Em, I don’t know but if you put the same question into google you should get links.
I do sometimes take paracetamol with Amitriptyline but don’t know about Tramadol.
Feel very sorry for you working with hug… very hard hon.

Might be an impossibilty as your at work but I always find heat from either a wheat bag or hot water bottle helps. It’s the worst feeling ever is the MS hug hope you can find something to ease it until you finish work x
Thanks all, im trying the lemsip at the mo ( went out and got some at lunch) fingers crossed it helps.

I had the hug for about 3-4 months. I really feel for you and hope it goes soon. I had to abandon bras. And anything that fitted around me. Ended up wearing awful stretchy pants and longed to be back home to my dressing gown
